The veterinary staff for the Timashevsky District have been
fired.
Apparently a worker at the farm who kept pigs of his own
brought the disease into the Piemzavod Industriainy farm in Southern Russia
near Krasnador.
Since 2007, there have been African Swine Disease outbreaks
in 21 of Russia’s 83 regions.
